It was weighing you down.
You did not even know it.
It was not until you released it
That you realized the extent.
So watch it swirl away
As you press the handle in relief.
It was weighing you down.
You did not even know it.
It was not until you released it
That you realized the extent.
So watch it swirl away
As you press the handle in relief.
There is no wisdom wiser
Than a fool who knows he is right.
The devil may tempt us
But God gave us Country Music.
Observant.
Hard-working.
Fast learner.
Empathetic.
Clever.
Resilient.
Stronger than you think.
I only find it difficult to actually believe in this myself.
It adds up over time.
Most of us are not patient enough to wait.
We all want it now!
I am trying to be patient
because I do not feel like I have any real choice.
At least not right now.
The fever spikes.
Shivers intensify.
Blankets thrown off
Only to be grabbed again.
How many times
Does this temperature yo-yo mean to continue?
Another rise begins.
Despite feeling the freezing atmosphere
It is obvious the fever still holds on.
The ballista is wheeled out of the castle.
It takes down only a few of the giants.
When the opposing army
Breaks your front line
You are horrified to see
The giant reach down and pick up your ballista.
As it turns it around and uses it like a crossbow
You know even if you live
Your castle and it’s people are gone.
Too bad this is not just a fantasy story.
Sometimes, you do not work right.
Your leg goes numb
and stops supporting you.
Hands tingle and refuse to wake up.
Then your brain clots and you find yourself
only half the person
you used to be.
But then I got sick.
So fuck the world
I’m going back to bed.
The fever is there.
Low and hot.
Constantly making me irritated.
But like all moms
stopping is not an option.
You work through
and see if you can get better before the next illness hits.
Reminds me of my autism mask, honestly.
Creeping along.
Ants forage.
Caterpillars munch.
The garden blooms.
Flowers spread.
The bees enjoy.
Spring is coming.
